Andy Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I had one of those "double point" vouchers that I handed in there. I got the normal points but never got the double ones. Don't care really since it's only worth about 10p, but I wonder now if the guy nicked my extra points too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolero Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I got sacked from a large supermarket for precisely this sort of thing. I knew when the printer was printing the last few lines of a customers receipt, containing their loyalty card account number, minus the last digit. All you had to do was make a note of it when you initially swiped it. Then my mate came into the shop, bought a crate of lager and a bottle of Jack Daniels, came through my till, I keyed the number in instead of swiping it, redeem the required amount of points, the transaction goes through all above board (ish) and everyones happy (ish). Problem was when the customer next used their card and notices £30 worth of points are missing. The supermarket look into it, realise the card was last used at my till, then redeemed at it a short time later - it didn't take a rocket scientist. This was however a long time ago when I was only 16 and I would never dream of doing anything like it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mod_Man Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I,m with TheBoyWonder on this one. Bit mardy bum bums really. See it as a perk of the job for the guy. Like others have said "If you're that bothered why not get a Nectar card". Would you not allow someone vouchers for school just because you don't or haven't gone to school?

Strix Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Ive seen this before at other shops. I think I used to see it at a co-op where I used to live. I dont have a problem with it. If I cant produce a card to collect the points why shouldnt someone have them. Because the obnoxious little twerp who served us at the local co-op isn't getting anything from us she isn't entitled to, so we always offer ours to the next person in the queue - which gets right up her snotty little nose Sorry - I don't believe gassing to your mate (who has come in for a chat on a busy saturday morning) about what you're wearing tonight instead of concentrating on financial transactions is any way to go about your job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strix Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 People who do this sort of thing don't generally have just one rule bending ruse - watch your credit card whilst you're there too Dishonesty isn't turned on and off you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senora Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 hi Ive just filled up with petrol at Bramall Lane When I paid I was asked if I had a Nectar card I said I didnt and as I was leaving the guy behind the counter picked up a card from a pile of about 30 and swiped it. Well obviously I have no use for these not having a Nectar but I was a bit taken aback when he helped himself to mine The more I think about it the more peeved I am What do the rest of you think? Deepak It would annoy me too. I think it's bad manners. Especially if they didn't offer to give you a receipt that would enable you to redeem the points later (as i have been offered in boots) Just because you don't claim the points does not mean he can help himself to them. Just thought i'de add my feelings as some people have said that you're beeing silly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepak_S7 Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 Just thought i'de add my feelings as some people have said that you're beeing silly Thank you! The thing is that it was being done on such a large scale This guy had about 30 cards It wasnt like he was just sticking a few points on his own And it was being done so openly I wondered that the management must know about it Deepak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revelations Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Could it be possible that the 30cards he had were peoples cards that they had forgotten in the shop, and he was just swipping the spare points onto the cards for if/when the people come back and collect there lost cards. Maybe a long shot lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senora Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 i think that is a long shot. It's more likely they're the cards of each member of staff and friends and family. Even if your right though I still think it's bad manners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
